I pluck in the neck end area, and the instrument is too long anyway - I've gotten used to shorties by now.

I have experimented with a technique that allow you to pluck by the neck and palm mute; you just use your left foot.The octagrab might be useful here, you just put your pinky toe in the grab and mute with the foot side or heel.

A nice technique all in all, the only downside is that you look a bit like Ian Anderson when you do it.So I try to restrict it to studio work exclusicvely.

Amptech, do you know how tall yours is, and what company/ebay seller you got it from?

Just got a message from my friend, it's 35 millimeters at the highest point. I bought it in 2011, wow time flies.Still had the bill in my mailbox, the seller on ebay was called kmahlke, PM me if you need his mail address.

I think it's too tall, perhaps better on a ripper with three point. GOT, how tall is your repro cover?
